Decent field trip for a rainy day. I love their plain slices (so did Owen.)

Beer dummy, originally uploaded by sashae.

So, in a fit of “this-seems-like-a-great-idea-for-the-family” I built up a Surly Big Dummy longtail bike as the NYC version of the family truckster. Thus far I have hauled:

3.5 cases of beer and a 10lb bag of catfood.
full frame box and my son’s push-bike.
my wife and son.
my Hollands’ light touring bike and 30lbs of bike parts.

This should be a hell of a lot of fun.

Brilliant, functional build. Bike came from the Brooklyn Bike Jumble (courtesy Joel of Via Bicycles in Philly.) Parts choice by Jack, build by Conrad’s Bicycles in Tudor City. Too good.
